About the project
The approximately 100-kilometre-long hydrogen pipeline between Emsbüren in Lower Saxony and Dorsten in North Rhine-Westphalia forms part of the north-south corridor of Germany’s national hydrogen core network. This corridor is intended to import hydrogen from the North Sea coast and the Netherlands and transport it on to industry, small and medium-sized enterprises and local authorities in the Ruhr region. The spatial impact assessment for the section in North Rhine-Westphalia was completed in February this year. This provides a spatially compatible route corridor as the basis for further planning. Thyssengas is currently working on the detailed planning of the specific pipeline route within this corridor and is preparing the application documents for the planning approval procedure.
